Growing up in the Midwest on Lake Superior, when I was a kid I remember seeing this on the news when the Edmond Fitzgerald sank. Very sad day. The song by Gordon Lightfoot an
amazing story teller is still one of my favorites. Incredible and emotional to listen to. An incredible way to immortalize the souls lost at sea.

Tiny boats in the foreground of the cityscape.
My earliest proof coin.
Tiny ship in the background.
My favorite US patriotic Civil War token design.
A lovely French jeton.
Doesn't show a ship, but it's from a shipwreck (RMS Duoro).
I'm a descendant of William Bradford (the dude on the obverse), so I had to have one of these.
Did well on this one- bought it as a raw 64. NGC gave it a 65.
Scarce gold medal memorializing the victims of the wreck of the German schooner Niobe.
"Bermuda Triangle". Over an ounce of gold.
First Day issue- one of 500 struck.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

Congrats on 39K post's
I made a mistake in the posting of the 1893 Columbian Exposition Medal. It is Danish, not Dutch. Eglit #37
